RPE Report Template Integration failed
I have been developing several RPE templates that I would like to integrate into RRC. I attempted to follow instructions I could find regarding the steps to follow but the integration was unsuccessful. I backed out my changes and can no longer get reports to work from RRC. I am receiving "Cannot start the reporting wizard: Index out of bounds."
These are the steps I followed to attempt the integration: 1) Placed the .dta file in the folder with the other rpe templates on the server. 2) Placed a corresponding Word template in the folder with the other word templates used by RRC on the server. 3) Added an entry to the templates.xml file 4) Added entries in the manifest.mf file for the report template and Word template. 5) Reinitialized the publish service on the server (https://<server>:<port>/rdm/publish/initialize 6) When this didn't work I removed the templates and removed the entries in the xml and manifest file. Are there additional steps necessary to make this integration successful? How can I get back to the original state before these changes were attempted? Sharon Sorenson Ascendant Technology |

Hi Sharon,
You can take a look at the documentation for http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rpcmpose/v2r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.rational.rrc.help.doc/topics/r_report_datasources.html If this steps doesn't work please attach the code you added to the MANIFEST.MF and to the templateLibrary.xml Do you get error while ../publish/initialize? You can also try accessing the template library after initialization, in a web browser go to http:///rdm/publish/templateLibrary you will get an XML file, there look for your report and check for the url which will look something like: <url>http://[server:port]/rdmpublish/templateLibrary/uispec1</url> Go to that url in the browser and it should return the template. (This is to check the template was uploaded correctly) I have been developing several RPE templates that I would like to integrate into RRC.

I have responded to your questions below.

(This is to check the template was uploaded correctly) I am now able to see the report in RRC, however, when I attempt to run it, it appears to hang. This report is based on process diagrams. After I get the diagram in my view and launch the report, it properly selects the source diagram. After specifying the name and folder, I hit "Next" and nothing happens. I hit "Next" again and the "Next" button is disabled but the "Finish" button does not appear (only "Cancel" and "Back").

Hi, Sharon
What is your RRC version? I have seen the similar behavior with 2.0.0.2 and I logged that in a work item. refer to http://jazz.net/jazz03/web/projects/Rational%20Requirements%20Composer#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=31307 Maybe Edgar can give you more insights about this problem. |
Hi, Sharon I am running RRC 2.0.0.3. The problem I am encountering is when running the report within RRC, not in RPE. It runs properly when it is run directly from RPE Studio. |

This problem could be related to the report generation trying to retrieve an RPE license to run the custom report.
Make sure you have a license server available Hi, Sharon I am running RRC 2.0.0.3. The problem I am encountering is when running the report within RRC, not in RPE. It runs properly when it is run directly from RPE Studio. |
